I have been working with the Lyrebirds on an artwork of a tree where each child has added their fingerprints to create the canopy of leaves which is surrounded by a jigsaw puzzle piece border. Each child is creating their own individual designed piece which will come together to create our whole border. The idea of creating our canopy is using both left and right hands which have left a mark and together will form the canopy leaves. Our border is both individual but connects to create a whole border and without each piece our artwork would not be complete. I wanted the experience to be fun and free so we have focussed on texture. The kids have done a fantastic job! Joanne Tweedie.
Uniform Thank you to everyone who provided feedback around the proposed uniform changes. We had 84 responses to our survey which was greatly appreciated. The responses to the main questions are provided below. In addition there were 32 written comments which informed the committee's decision making. Below is a summary of the proposed changes. Please note that there is a change over period of 3 years where both uniforms are accepted.
- Black unisex shorts will be available for all students. In addition we are looking to source a skort/cullotte option for girls
- Long black pants will also be available in winter along with tracksuit pants and tights
- The school shirt will remain the same
- We will continue to offer a dress option and are looking at possible alternatives to the current dress.
- A hooded jumper will be added to the uniform.
Drama Festival Congratulations to all students who participated in the Drama Festival last week. It was a very enjoyable performance and all students should be very proud of the skills they developed and showcased on the night. Thank you to Mrs Carly Tunnecliffe and all staff who supported the event as well as parents who assisted with costumes, makeup and transport.
Have a wonderful week.
